Van Mieghem Logistics is making significant strides in modernizing its operations, showcasing a strong commitment to both environmental sustainability and cutting-edge automation.
This strategic pivot offers a compelling case study for businesses seeking to optimize their supply chain in today's dynamic market.
Embracing electric mobility for a greener future
Van Mieghem's dedication to sustainable logistics is evident in its growing electric fleet. The recent acquisition of an electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 400 marks a key step, with plans already in motion to integrate the powerful, 100% electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600.
This shift towards electric transport not only significantly reduces carbon emissions but also positions businesses to partner with carriers that meet stringent environmental standards, an increasingly vital factor for corporate social responsibility.
Revolutionizing warehousing with advanced automation
At the heart of Van Mieghem's innovation lies its new 15,000 m² automated warehouse in Tubize 2. This facility is a testament to next-generation logistics, boasting an impressive 22,500 fully robotized pallet locations.
As part of a larger 35,000 m² logistics complex, this warehouse leverages state-of-the-art technologies including Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and a Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) system.
For businesses requiring precise, efficient, and high-density storage solutions, such automation ensures optimized stock management, reduced operational costs, and faster order fulfillment.
Carbon-neutral operations and biodiversity initiatives
Beyond electric vehicles and automation, the Tubize 2 site exemplifies holistic sustainability. It operates as a carbon-neutral facility, powered entirely by solar panels. Further environmental commitments include advanced rainwater harvesting systems and initiatives to promote biodiversity through eco-grazing and the installation of beehives.
A future wind turbine project is also planned, solidifying its status as a green logistics hub. For businesses prioritizing their environmental footprint, partnering with such a facility aligns perfectly with sustainability goals and offers a future-proof logistics solution.
What this means for your business space needs
Van Mieghem's investment in electric fleets and automated, sustainable warehouses demonstrates a clear path forward for the logistics industry. For businesses in search of office or warehouse space to rent, these developments highlight the increasing importance of choosing partners and locations that offer not just physical space, but also advanced infrastructure, technological efficiency, and a strong commitment to environmental stewardship.
These features translate directly into improved operational efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and a competitive edge in the market. For further insights into these innovations, Van Mieghem is also present at the Transport & Logistics Antwerp exhibition.
